Foodies love Cleveland, and for good reason. Our eclectic town includes internationally-inspired foods made by chefs that share the foods’ place of origin. It seems that even the most unusual foods can be found here in Cleveland! Arepas are one ethnic food that’s not unusual, per se, but is also not particularly commonplace this far north. As is true with many eclectic eats, there’s at least one arepa bar in Cleveland worth checking out. In fact, there are three destinations in particular that belong on your bucket list, and they share a name: Barroco.
Editor’s Note: Barroco in Larchmere is still owned by the same family, but it now operates as an Hola Tacos restaurant. It’s still worth swinging by, but you’ll find a slightly different variety of dining options now.
As you step into any one of Barroco's three locations, you'll instantly be awed by its fun and eclectic atmosphere.
Barroco is an arepa bar and concert cafe that'll instantly knock your socks off. Their menu is just as vibrant as their atmosphere, encompassing all sorts of classic combinations as well as innovative selections.

Barroco, believe it or not, translates to baroque in English. The food at Barroco is appropriately classically inspired, making it perhaps the very best arepa bar in Cleveland.
